Adaptive Image Matching Using Discrimination of Deformable Objects

  • Insu Won,
  • Jaehyup Jeong,
  • Hunjun Yang,
  • Jangwoo Kwon and
  • Dongseok Jeong

21 July 2016

We propose an efficient image-matching method for deformable-object image matching using discrimination of deformable objects and geometric similarity clustering between feature-matching pairs. A deformable transformation maintains a particular form...

Relationship between Fractal Dimension and Spectral Scaling Decay Rate in Computer-Generated Fractals

  • Alexander J. Bies,
  • Cooper R. Boydston,
  • Richard P. Taylor and
  • Margaret E. Sereno

19 July 2016

Two measures are commonly used to describe scale-invariant complexity in images: fractal dimension (D) and power spectrum decay rate (β). Although a relationship between these measures has been derived mathematically, empirical validation across meas...

A Model-Driven Framework to Develop Personalized Health Monitoring

  • Algimantas Venčkauskas,
  • Vytautas Štuikys,
  • Jevgenijus Toldinas and
  • Nerijus Jusas

18 July 2016

Both distributed healthcare systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) are currently hot topics. The latter is a new computing paradigm to enable advanced capabilities in engineering various applications, including those for healthcare. For such system...

A Modified GrabCut Using a Clustering Technique to Reduce Image Noise

  • GangSeong Lee,
  • SangHun Lee,
  • GaOn Kim,
  • JongHun Park and
  • YoungSoo Park

14 July 2016

In this paper, a modified GrabCut algorithm is proposed using a clustering technique to reduce image noise. GrabCut is an image segmentation method based on GraphCut starting with a user-specified bounding box around the object to be segmented. In th...

Image Region Duplication Forgery Detection Based on Angular Radial Partitioning and Harris Key-Points

  • Diaa M. Uliyan,
  • Hamid A. Jalab,
  • Ainuddin W. Abdul Wahab and
  • Somayeh Sadeghi

13 July 2016

Region duplication forgery where a part of the image itself is copied and pasted onto a different part of the same image grid is becoming more popular in image manipulation. The forgers often apply geometric transformations such as rotation and scali...
